Peugeot has enhanced its small Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) range with the introduction of a mid-level specification 2008 GT variant. Priced at $38,990*, the Peugeot 2008 GT provides Australians with additional choice in the popular range and will attract potential buyers with its value proposition.
Kate Gillis, General Manager Peugeot Australia, said: “A welcomed addition to the Peugeot 2008 range, the mid-level GT variant provides us with the opportunity to further expand upon the success of our small SUV in the Australian market.
“At the time of launch we knew that the Peugeot 2008 would bring a fresh perspective to the competitive segment, particularly with its innovative design and impressive technology, and that remains true today.
“We’re delighted to be able to provide Australians with more choice when considering a premium small SUV, with the Peugeot 2008 range now offering three impressive variants.”
The Peugeot 2008 is a premium small SUV that is ideally suited to urban adventures and designed with the modern landscape in mind.
